The Story of Margaret Mary
Alocoque

Margaret Mary Alacoque, was born in 1647 in the Burgandy region of France. Her father died when she was
only eight years old, and the family was plunged into poverty, as their father's estate was withheld from them
by his trustee. Margaret Mary was sent to receive her education from a nearby community of sisters.

The young Margaret Mary fell ill with a painful rheumatic fever that rendered her an invalid until she was
fifteen. When she recovered, her family, who had experienced a reversal of fortune, introduced Margaret
Mary to the glamor of worldly life. While at first tempted by the glamorous life of a young socialite,
Margaret Mary fulfilled her childhood vow to become a religious sister and joined the nearby Visitation

Convent.

As a nun, she was assigned work in the infirmary of the convent, and her prayer life, already vivid and rich,
began to blossom even more fully. Margaret Mary had a special devotion to Jesus’ passion and death, and in
1673, she began to receive apparitions of Jesus crowned with thorns.

In December 1673, while she was praying in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, Margaret Mary heard Jesus speaking to her. He told
Margaret Mary that he wanted to spread the love of his heart through her and that she would reveal to many people the grace he desires always
to bestow on humanity. In her vision, Margaret Mary saw Jesus take her heart and place it within his, setting it aflame with divine love that
continued to burn in her heart as it returned to her body.

Over the next eighteen months, Jesus continued to appear to Margaret Mary to further explain his desire for his heart to be honored in the
devotion and image that we now know as the Sacred Heart. What does devotion to the Sacred Heart mean? Christ described his heart, according
to Margaret Mary, as "the heart that has so loved humanity that it has spared nothing, even exhausting and consuming itself in testimony of
its love.” Thus, the Sacred Heart represents the fullness of God's love for humanity and the overflowing generosity of Christ's gift of self in the
act of salvation. In a letter, Margaret Mary described the Sacred Heart as "an abyss of all blessings, and into it the poor should submerge all
their needs. It is an abyss of joy in which all of us can immerse our sorrows. It is an abyss of lowliness to counteract our foolishness, an
abyss of mercy for the wretched, an abyss of love to meet our every need."

In his Theological Investigations, twentieth-century German theologian and Jesuit priest Karl Rahner wrote a beautiful essay on devotion to the
Sacred Heart, exploring the rich theology of love presented in this simple devotion to Christ's heart and meditating on the rich symbol of God's
love contained in Christ's flaming heart.

Margaret Mary endured many trials after her visions—mostly from within her own community.
Many of her fellow sisters did not believe her and accused her of hypocrisy and putting on airs.
Margaret Mary bore the verbal (and sometimes physical) abuse with charitable patience.
Claude de la Colombiere was chosen as the confessor for the convent, and, after listening to
Margaret Mary describe her visions to him, he declared them authentic. In the end, Margaret
Mary's own devotion and dedication to the Sacred Heart and her witness of love for her sisters
became their own testament for the authenticity of her visions. Devotion to the Sacred Heart began
to spread throughout Margaret Mary's religious community and throughout France.

Margaret Mary's ill health from childhood continued to plague her, and she grew weaker and
weaker in the years following her visions, but the divine flame of love in her heart never weakened.
Even as she lay dying on October 16, 1690, Margaret Mary said: “I need nothing but God, and to
lose myself in the heart of Jesus,” Today, a few of her relics are preserved in the reliquary chapel
in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on Notre Dame's campus.

In the decades after Margaret Mary's death, as devotion to the Sacred Heart swept France, Basil
Moreau founded the Congregation of Holy Cross in Le Mans, France. Thus, the priests of his
congregation were, and still are, consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Consequently, when the
basilica on Notre Dame's campus was constructed, it was also dedicated to the Sacred Heart. St.
Margaret Mary Alacoque is honored in the Basilica by two stained glass windows in the Lady
Chapel, shown to the right and above, both depicting her visions of Christ.
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, whose own heart burned with love for Jesus’ Sacred Heart—pray for
us!

Conversations between Our Lord Jesus
and Magaret Mary Alacoque

My Divine Heart is so inflamed with love for men, and for you in particular that, being unable any longer to contain
within Itself the flames of Its burning Charity, It must spread them abroad by your means, and manifest Itself to them
(mankind) in order to enrich them with the precious graces of sanctification and salvation necessary to withdraw them
from the abyss of perdition. I have chosen you as an abyss of unworthiness and ignorance for the accomplishment of
this great design, in order that everything may be done by Me.”

My well-beloved, I give you a precious token of My love, having enclosed within your side a little spark of its glowing
flames, that may serve you for a heart and consume you to the last moment of your life; its ardor will never be
exhausted, and you will be able to find some slight relief only by bleeding.

“Even this remedy I shall so mark with My Cross, that it will bring you more humiliation and suffering than alleviation.
Therefore, I will that you ask for it with simplicity, both that you may practice what is ordered you and also to give you
the consolation of shedding your blood on the cross of humiliations.

“As a proof that the great favor I have done to you is not imagination, and that it is the foundation of all those which I
intend further to confer upon you, although I have closed the wound in your side, the pain will always remain. If before,
you have taken only the name of My slave, I now give you that of the beloved disciple of My Sacred Heart

My Divine Master revealed to me that it was His ardent desire to be known, loved and honored by men, and His eager
desire to draw them back from the road to perdition, along which Satan is driving them in countless numbers, that
induced Him to manifest His Heart to men with all the treasures of love, mercy, grace, sanctification and salvation that
It contains.”

“This Heart of God must be honored under the form of His heart of flesh, whose image He wanted exposed, and also
worn on me and on my heart.

“He promised to pour out into the hearts of all those who honor the image of His Heart all the gifts it contains in
fullness, and for all those who would wear this image on their persons He promised to imprint His love on their hearts
and to destroy all unruly inclinations.
"As I earnestly desired to make some return of love, [Jesus] said to me: ‘You could not show me greater love than by
doing what I have already so many times demanded of you.’

“And [opening] to me His Divine Heart: ‘Behold this Heart which has so loved men that It spared nothing, even going
so far as to exhaust and consume Itself, to prove to them Its love. And in return, I receive from the greater part of men
nothing but ingratitude, by the contempt, irreverence, sacrileges and coldness with which they treat Me in this
Sacrament of Love.
